I am Joseph Elmore, owner and creator of KDKF. I spent most the last 21 years repairing and flying helicopters for the military and took up blade smithing to serve as a creative outlet in a rigid and structured life. KDKF is a passion project and dream that I hope you will take part in. I treat each blade as if it were going on my own belt and want each customer to have something they can use for a lifetime. Visitors are welcomed and encouraged at the forge so feel free to stop by and chat about aviation, the weather, blade smithing or anything else.
I have spent over 20 years serving as a North Carolina Army National Guard soldier and as a member of the ”Killdevils” of AASF #2 in Salisbury, NC. The unit adopted the flag of Edward “Blackbeard” Teach and the slogan “No Quarter” as its unit identity. As an aviation unit from NC, the significance of Killdevil Hills where Orville and Wilbur Wright took their famous first flight and where Blackbeard often operated is a point of pride for those aviators. Blackbeard's “all in” attitude, mastery of his vessel, and knowledge of his home turf in and around Killdevil Hills, NC embodies the unit's culture. The “Killdevil” in our logo and name is a nod to those brave men and women of the NC National Guard in Salisbury, NC.
Each blade made at Killdevil Forge is carefully hand crafted in my home shop in Mocksville, NC. I use high quality steel and a proven process to craft you something you can put to the test and keep for a long time. Stop by and watch them being made in person or come by and take part yourself.
I am glad to make custom pieces and to work closely with you from design to delivery but remember that a one of a kind knife takes time
to get right. If you have something specific in mind please reach out. You could even have a hand in the process yourself if interested.
